Stankiewicze massacre

The Stankiewicze massacre occurred in August 1941 when the German Wehrmacht massacred the Jews of the Polish village of Stankiewicze (near present-day Novogrudok, Belarus) during Operation Barbarossa. The Einsatzgruppen killed David and Beila Bielski and a few other villagers before deporting the rest of them; the children were taken away in trucks as the adults were taken into the woods and executed. Their bodies were thrown into a mass grave in another massacre of Jews by the Nazis.
